Windy Peak -- Lost Creek Wilderness

Windy Peak (11,970 ft.) is in the Kenosha Mountains, in the Lost Creek Wilderness, five miles northeast of Bison Peak.

Reach this peak via a number of trails, eventually bushwacking off-trail up slopes, some steep, to summit.  Trail reports mention swampy areas, lots of deadfall, and huge boulders typical of Lost Creek Wilderness.

Wilderness permits are required. Self-issuing permits are available at the wilderness boundary free of charge. For more information, please see https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/psicc/recarea/?recid=37208
